Christina McPherson, CNMChristina joined Central Park Midwifery in March 2019. Her journey here began as a little girl with a fascination ignited by photos of her own birth.. She flirted with the idea of medical school and completed pre-med coursework alongside her BA in psychology at Barnard College in 2004. She then worked for four years as a research assistant in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University before midwifery steered her back on course with its client-focused, team-based model that prioritizes the individual’s agency and dignity. She then returned to Columbia University, where she earned a BS in nursing and MS in midwifery.

Cara Pauls, CNM, DNPCara is so excited to join Central Park Midwifery in August of 2023. Her long and winding road to midwifery began with a childhood fascination for her own birth story, which her parents dutifully repeated year after year. After majoring in art and design and working in marketing and branding for over a decade, a cesarean birth with her first child and an empowering midwifery-led, doula-supported VBAC with her second flipped a switch, and she knew she wanted to be a midwife. She worked as a doula and lactation counselor for four years while preparing for midwifery school and, meanwhile, fell in love with Central Park Midwifery’s model of care.
